Tunten Zwecklos

Documentary of the 40+ year history of the Hamburg Bollenmädels, a group founded by nine gay men in the late 1980’s that has been celebrating diversity in German life by dressing in women’s clothing at public events ever since. The film includes interviews with members from throughout the group’s history, discussing topics from childhood, coming out, sexuality, and the AIDS crisis, to the caregiving and death of parents. Through archival media and animation, the film also becomes a portrait of different generations of gay people and the gay movement in Germany. Directed by Mirek Balonis and Jutta Riedel, Written by Jutta Riedel (2021, Germany, 1:23).
